If money-getting for its own sake

If money getting for its own sake,
or for the power it confers, is to
continue to be the master passion,
we may confidently expect that the
conflict between labor and capital
will intensity until it rends the social
fabric. But If genuine interest in
man and his destiny, and In wiser
modes of living, takes possession,
We may reasonably hope that the up
ward struggle of the masses will
{ Ike the form of a quiet, gratifying
progress. Happily there are signs
on every hand that the higher ideals
are winning allegiance. Even the
teachers of political economy are
beginning to admit that man, rather
than wealth merely, is the subject of
their science. As this idea gains
general acceptance 1t must effect
great changes not only in ways of
looking at things, but IN conduct and
D olicy. Business methods and pol
ticsl actio will take on a new COM
plexion, aud produce very different
results, when public opinion is
thoroughly converted to the truth
that the chief object of private en-
deavor and public institutions is not
the accumulation Of riches, but the
perfection of man. Work and
Wages.

A THANKFUL MAN.

Yesterday We met Mr.. John Boil
ton, an old resident of our city. who
has since 1861 been afflicted with the
catarrh in the head which had almost
caused him to loose his hearing.
When we spoke to him he answered
so quickly (knowlng that he was al
most deaf) that it surprised us and
we at once asked him how 1t was that
he could hear so well now. aWeh n
said he, II would almost as soon be
dead as to live and not hear. I have
spent lots of money trying to be re-
lieved and had almost given up ever
being cured. / heard of DIR. Dun
bar and thought I would give linn a
trial, so when be was in Huntsville
IN May went up there and put my
case IN his hands. This Was on the
9th day Of May, and in less than

years standing, and which had ef-

doctor:
INDIAN GROVE, Mo-, Oct. 8, '95.
DEAR Doctor:
am glad to hear where YOU are.
at. I read it in the paper My
health is better now than it ever was
in my whole lifetime. My eyes are
getting stronger all the time, and
they do not water as they did before
1 took your medicine The people
who saw all the medicine you gave
me, told me not to take it as it
might kill me. I told them they
knew nothing about it. 1 have not
taken quite all of it yet. L cannot
take the last bottle very regularly,
as the p1mples broke out so bad 1
could not, because they hurt so
badly,
think will be a healthy person
after your treatment. Mothers eyes
are all right now. We left the
money at Hills bank for you. I
think so much of you because you
have done me so much good L wish
you would send me your photograph
so 1 can remember you forever.
Please answer my letter.
Kindest regards to you,
Miss FRANCIS LAUHoFF.

A BUSY MAN.

One of the busiest men of our
place for the past two weeks has
been DR.. J. Z Dunbar, the justly
celebrated oculist and aurist His
rooms during his stay here have
been crowded with patients seeking
relief, and many poor afflicted per-
son has gone from under his care
while here, blessing the day he put
himself under tha.doctor's treatment.
Some. however, have been advised,
as is his custom when their cases
are hopeless, that be could do them
no good and it really seems cruel to
to tell person who is almost blind,
but the doctor does not believe in
holding out delusive Or false hopes,
so he frankly informs the patient as
to the trne character Of his case
Besides the patients here, On Tues
day he was called to Kansas City to
perform a very difficult operation
upon the eyes OF a patient at that
place who had heard of his skill and
sent for him. The operation more
than justified the reputation of DIR.
Dunbar. and he left his patiens SO he
could see as well as ever, though be-
fore the operation he was almost in
total darkness
We understand the doctor will go
to Macon City this week, and we take
pleasure in recommending him to
those people as thorough-going
gentleman, we'll up IN his business,
and straightforward business man.
We trust he may again make our city
. longer visit at some time when be
can treat those unforsuntes needing
his services.-Rrunswickey.

The fact that two leading draft
horse associations, the Clydesdale
and Shire, have expressed them
selves to the effect that the laws
should give stallion owners lien on
the progeny Of their horses until the
service fees of their horses shall be
paid, brings this matter fairly before
the public. Such Legislation is clear
ly right and called for. II it is right
that one man should under ordinary
circumstances have security. If he
desires it, for what he may sell to
another, it Is equally right that
those who invest in choice stations
should be secured in the sale Of their
service. 1t is q matter of common
justice, and laws covering this point
should be passed everywhere.

Frederick Wittrock, (''Jim Cum

morning arraigned in court 8. St.
Louis under an indictment for grand
larceny fE5In railroad cSr. The in
dictmeut against the men returnd on
Monday charged them with robbery,
but as this necessarily involved the
innocence of Fotheringham, the mes
senger, the indictment was Withdrawn
and one for larceny was substituted.
The men pleaded guilty to the last
indictment, each answering separate
ly for himself. Wlttrock and Haight
were given the extreme penalty Of
the law-Eeven years at hard labor in
the penitentlary-and Weaver was
sentenced to five years. There was
no understanding with the men as to
what penalty would be inflicted. The
terms given were recommended by
the circuit attorney, and Wittrock
declined to say whether be had been
led to expect 9 lighter sentence.
The prisoners were taken to the pen

great sensation.

HE is COMING AGAIN TO KEY

The readers Of the COURIER will at
once recognize the name Of DR.. ]. E..
Dunbar, the oculist, aurist and
catarrh specialist, VINO visited Key
tesville several years ago and also in
in July, 1885. He needs no great
comment from US as he has been
here before and the people know him.
All those suffering with any diseases
Of the eye, ear, catarrh, throat or
lung troubles should not fail to meet
this great specialist when he arrives
on Saturday, January 18th, and re-
main ten days at the Wheeler House.
During his last visit here he was so
crowded with persons afflicted that
it WAS almost matter Of impossible
ity to consult him. In fact, many
were turned away, doomed to disap-
pointment, for, If after an exami-
nation, be thinks your case Is incur
able he will plainly tell you so, and
no amount of money will induce him
to undertake those cases unless he
has great hopes Of relieving or cur
ing them. Below We publish few

larger or smaller ones must be reg

taken out, wash the bacon with an
almost dry cloth dipped in tepid
water, wipe dry, sprinkle little
oatmeal over 1t, and hang up to the
kitchen ceiling to dry. Where there
are openings in the shoulders and
hams, at the shank, etc., dust lit

available, when dry, hang them
there; and no further precautIon is
needed, for flies will not enter
dark room. If, however, the bacon
is cured in winter, or about the new
year, it becomes sufficiently dry to
be safe from the attack of flies in the
spring. The above directions may
seem to involve some trouble; In
reality, they mean an hour each al

is well repaid. The veries tyro

A young woman had just left a dentists
chair and was adjusting her wrap to leave,
with several dollars worth of gold in one
of her incisors, when \ reporter entered the
office.
"What is the use of people enduring the
agony of having their teeth filled when
they can have them pulled without pain
and then have a set of false teeth which
will never trouble them AGAIN." asked the
reporter as the young lady gave a sigh of
relief and left the office.
"Why, my dear young man, very few
people can have a set Of artificial teeth
which will never trouble them. In nearly
every case false teeth are very trouble
some"
'That is when you do not get a good
fit, l SUPPOSE"
st is difficult to get a perfect fit and
have it remain so very long, because many
mouths are continually changing. A plate
that may fit well to-day may become I'M
bearable in six months, and the plate may
even break; in fact, they frequently do. l
have several patients who must have new
plates made every year or two, at the
most, because their mouths change so
much they cannot use a plate longer than
that. Then there are other people who
cannot endure a plate in their mouth at
all, no matter how perfect the fit. They
cannot become accustomed to them even
after persistent trials. | have known men
after trying a whole year to give up in dis
gust and resolve to gum it. So you see ar
tificial teeth may be a continual expense
and a great annoyance to a person. 1t is
far better to nave the natural teeth attend
ed to, if they need a dentists attention,
but it is better still for every one to take
proper care of their own teeth and pre-
serve them as long as possible. - 1eoelond
